Hearing this, Tan Yun instructed Mu Mengyi and Xue Ziyan to wait for him at the Spirit Mountain Herb Garden before leaping onto Shen Qingfeng's Flying Sword.
Shen Qingfeng carried Tan Yun as they flew towards Ice Clear Immortal Mountain...
"Elder Three, may I ask why the Sovereign is looking for me?" Tan Yun inquired.
"Oh right, the proceedings of the alchemical arts grand competition at the eternal immortal sect, the young lady has told me everything. Tsk tsk, I never expected you, kid, to be a saint level grand alchemist! It seems I'm truly getting old; my alchemical arts are far inferior to yours."
...
After about half an hour, Shen Qingfeng landed with Tan Yun on Ice Clear Immortal Mountain, put away the Flying Sword, and entered Ice Clear Hall with Tan Yun.
As Tan Yun stepped into the main hall, he bowed to Shen Subing, Shen Wende, and Shen Qingqiu who were seated, "Disciple pays respects to the Sovereign, Elder Six, and Grandpa Shen."
After the formalities, Tan Yun flipped his right hand, revealing three dark green elixirs, and respectfully handed one to Shen Wende, "Elder Six, this is the sub-respect elixir I present to you as a token of gratitude."
"Hahaha, very good!" Shen Wende laughed as he accepted the elixir, "Though this old fool doesn't need it, I will still accept it."
Tan Yun then presented one to Shen Qingfeng and one to Shen Qingqiu as well, both of whom gladly accepted.
After distributing the elixirs, Tan Yun still had one left in his Qiankun Ring.
At that moment, Shen Subing looked at Tan Yun and said, "The purpose of summoning you today is to ask you some things and also to give you some instructions."
"Tan Yun, could you first explain how you disabled Wu Feixiong?" Shen Subing asked.
Tan Yun's expression darkened, "Reporting to the Sovereign, Wu Hong gave his son Wu Feixiong a dream fantasy elixir, instructing him to give it to Mengyi. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise, Mengyi would have been ruined by him."
"Mengyi is my fiancée. If it weren't for the sect's rules binding me, I would have already killed him without leaving him a single dog life!"
Before Shen Subing could speak, Shen Qingqiu abruptly stood up, furious and fuming, "That beast Wu Hong! How dare he treat my granddaughter like this? It makes me furious!"
Mu Mengyi had recognized Shen Qingqiu as her grandfather; how could he not be angry?
"Exactly, this father and son duo are truly not good people! Tan Yun, you did well!" Shen Qingfeng was also filled with rage.
Shen Wende and Shen Subing felt anger as well.
At this moment, Shen Qingqiu turned to Shen Subing and bowed, "Miss, could you find a way to let my granddaughter leave the Beast Spirit Lineage and enter the Danmai?"
Shen Subing frowned tightly, "Qingqiu, I want to help you, but for tens of thousands of years, the nine meridians have governed themselves, and each lineage has its own rules. Leaving the sect would result in death. Moreover, Mu Mengyi is still a closed-door disciple of Wu Hong."
Shen Qingqiu took a deep breath, and the next sentence caused Shen Subing, Shen Qingfeng, and Shen Wende's expressions to change drastically!
"Miss, I haven't mentioned my granddaughter's identity," Shen Qingqiu sighed, "Mengyi is actually the princess of Mu Wind Sacred Dynasty. After the fall of Mu Wind Sacred Dynasty, she escaped for five years and arrived at our sect's Mountain Gate, where I took her in."
"What!" Shen Subing's beautiful eyes widened, "Qingqiu, is this true?"
"Absolutely true," Shen Qingqiu affirmed, "Miss, even a dying centipede won't collapse easily. I believe Tang Yongsheng could not have wiped out the Mu Wind Sacred Dynasty completely; perhaps there are still strong individuals from Mu Wind Sacred Dynasty searching for Mengyi."
"Miss, I implore you to think of a way to ensure that Mengyi does not remain in the Beast Spirit Lineage any longer. If possible, we should protect her."
At this point, Shen Qingqiu glanced at Tan Yun and continued, "Miss, there are no outsiders here, so I will speak frankly. The grudge of killing one's father and exterminating one's family cannot be overlooked; Mengyi will get her revenge one day."
